A term describing the method by which information (whether true or false) flows through a society. Suggestive of the secrecy as well as the unpredictable and unstoppable nature of informal communication. Coined by author Andrew Vachss and first published in his book "Born Bad." The term differs from grapevine, which suggests individual truths, passed from person to person.
You can't trust everything you hear from the underground — the whisper-stream vacuums up everything, gold to garbage.

Decision stream - a statistic-based supervised learning technique that generates a deep directed acyclic graph of decision rules to solve classification and regression tasks
By increasing the number of samples in each node and reducing the tree width, the Decision stream preserves statistically representative data and allows extremely deep graph architecture that can consist of hundreds of levels.

Related to the waste and recycling streams, the use stream describes items that are still of value and which can be recovered for ongoing use by others.
Bob: I love my new blender!
Sarah: What are you going to do with your old one. It works, right, just without all the bells and whistles.
Bob: Exactly. I think I'll clean it up and give it to the thrift store so that it can be returned to the use stream.
